Sex as a spiritual Experience or Physical Experience without Mind - 3 Apr 09

As I said yesterday, possessiveness is a subject of the mind. When the mind gets involved in sex, then the body cannot enjoy because the mind stops it from having fun. And you stop the other person from having fun. You want the other person to be in a certain way, to act in a certain way and to react in a certain way. Possessiveness and expectations come along with the involvement of the mind.

A sexual experience could be nice on a physical level, too, but actually it is a spiritual experience which has to take place on the level of the soul where it doesn’t matter if there is physical involvement or not. It can be with and it can be without physical involvement. But it is definitely not healthy on the level of the mind. The push of sexual force onto your mind can even make angry and violent. That is why it is good to let sexual energy flow in body and soul, not in the mind.

I would like to comment on the mind and sex. Perhaps involving the EGO in sex is what leads to possessiveness and expectations; these can ruin the joy of the sexual experience. But involving the mind in sex is automatic... you can't really shut off your brain in the act of sex. You will be thinking things, and they should be in line with your physical and soul experience. But the ego should stay out of equation.

I agree that there are different levels to which sex can be had. There is the pure physical level. Then there is physical with mental involvement. And the highest level is the physical and mental sexual experience hightened by soul connection! What a truly amazing experience that must be. I wish everyone can experience sex through the soul.

I think that's a beautiful idea- two souls connecting in a way that is probably the most intimate possible. Beautiful, just beautiful.

I am not religious but I know my parents believe that sex is marriage and marriage is two souls getting joined before God for all eternity. So for them, technically every time they have sex it's soul sex, sanctified by God. I don't get the impression, however, that they enjoy each other. they don't outside of the bedroom, so how could they inside? I will have to think about this soul thing.

I have never had sex with the soul before. I often wonder what it would be like. i can't imagine it being more than just two bodies.

Words of Wisdom

  • Presence

    If nobody can know anyway what will happen on the next day, why should we worry about it? There will never be an answer! We will see what will happen and we will deal with whatever comes. The past is past and tomorrow will come. Live in the presence, today, now!

    Source
  • Happiness

    Do what you feel is right. That will make you happy.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Don't try to control everything!

    Source
  • Ego

    Don’t let your ego keep you from saying sorry. It does not make you small to apologize. Overcome your ego and apologize for the wrong you did.

    Source
  • Closeness

    You invite others to celebrate because you want to share your happiness. It makes you happy when others celebrate your happiness together with you. If you are happy but alone, you cannot really enjoy it. When you are sad, too, and someone is there with whom you can share it, your sadness is reduced. You need closeness so that you have somebody to share your happiness and sadness.

    Source
  • Honesty

    You say something else than you think and feel. And you do something completely different. You don’t do what you think and you don’t think what you say. You don’t say what you do and you don’t do what you say. These three things are separate from each other although they should be same: our inside, our thoughts and feelings, our talk and our actions.

    Source
  • Prejudice

    Keep an open mind and don't decide how something will be before it happens. In this way you keep yourself from having fun and being happy. Let it happen and then decide. It is more fun!

    Source
  • Perfectionism

    Perfectionism is perfect if there is no comparison.

    Source
  • Self-Confidence

    You are loveable, lovely and loving. You don’t need to do any change to yourself to please another person. You don’t need to play a role or wear a mask. This world is so big and there are so many different people in this world that it is normal if a few don’t agree with you or don’t like you. Stop comparing and just be yourself.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religions tell women that they have to cover their heads and even faces with a veil or a burqa because men could get aroused by seeing their faces and imagining a vagina.

    Source
  • Religion

    Hinduism says: don't die the wrong day or five family members will die, too!

    Source
  • Belief

    Don’t sell something you don’t believe in just to make business. Don't become dishonest with your belief.

    Source
  • God

    People say children die of hunger in this world because of their Karma. God should not save them, they have to go through it. Why is God such a partial person that he saves some people from their Karma and not others?

    Source
  • Belief

    Once you go away from a belief, you will realize how liberating it is when you can take responsibility for your actions and their consequences yourself.

    Source
  • Friend

    True friends stay when your philosophy and belief change.

    Source
  • Responsibility

    You are not responsible for everything and everybody. Relax, lean back and watch what others are doing. It is fine, enjoy whatever comes!

    Source
  • Judging

    People who judge often have an inferiority complex and believe others judge them. If you are in your full love to yourself, you don't need to judge others.

    Source
  • Beauty

    Comparing with other does not increase or reduce your beauty!

    Source
  • Prejudice

    Create your perception with a free mind. Prejudiced ideas of other people's advices can prevent amazing experiences.

    Source
  • Relationship

    High divorce rates keep young people from marrying!
